Scoring and Re-Testing

How do I see my scores?

Your scores will be available in ALEKS PPL immediately. Official proctored placement exams will be uploaded to the UNM system within two hours of completion. You can view these scores by logging into LoboWeb, click Registration & Records, click View Test Scores.

What does my score mean?

You can view what courses your score corresponds to on our Course Placement page. In some cases, your score may place you in several courses or in a higher-level course than your degree requires. Your academic advisor can provide you with further information about what your placement means for your math journey here at UNM and give you recommendations on next steps based on your degree program.

Can I use my practice test score for placement?

No, only proctored exams can be used for placement.

I’m unhappy with my score. Can I take the test again?

Yes. You may take a maximum of two proctored ALEKS PPL exams. Follow these steps to complete a second proctored placement:

1. Students are required to complete a minimum of five (5) hours of learning modules following their first proctored exam before they may take their next assessment.
2. Students must complete one unproctored (practice) assessment before their final proctored exam. Treat this practice assessments as you would a proctored exam: no external calculators, no notes, and no looking up information/formulas. Keep working on learning modules if your practice test does not reflect the score you are hoping to achieve with your proctored exam.
3. The second proctored test is available to all students remotely using LockDown Browser and Respondus Monitor remote proctoring. When you are ready to complete your final proctored exam (assessment #3), contact testctr@unm.edu to request the password or discuss options if you would prefer to come in for an in-person test.
   Note: Only one proctored exam per day will be uploaded to LoboWeb, so students should not take both proctored assessments the same day. This will assure that both scores are available in the system.
